ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܠܒܝܫ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܘܫܐ ܕܣܥܪܐ ܕܓܡܠܐ ܘܐܣܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܪܩܬܐ ܕܡܫܟܐ ܒܚܨܘܗܝ ܘܡܐܟܘܠܬܗ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܩܡܨܐ ܘܕܒܫܐ ܕܒܪܐ6 Now he, Yukhanan {John}, was clothed with a garment of the hair of camels, and was bound with a strap of leather at his loins. And there his food was locusts and the honey of the field.

ܘܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܕܚܝܠܬܢ ܡܢܝ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܬܓܗܢ ܐܫܪܐ ܥܪܩܐ ܕܡܣܢܘܗܝ7 And he was Proclaiming and saying, “Look! The One who comes after me, who is more powerful than me, that One I am not worthy that I should stoop down to loosen the straps of His sandals!

ܐܢܐ ܐܥܡܕܬܟܘܢ ܒܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܢܥܡܕܟܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ8 I immerse {baptize} you in the maya {the waters}, but, He will immerse {baptize} you in The Rukha d’Qudsha {The Spirit of Holiness}!”

ܘܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܢܨܪܬ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܐܬܥܡܕ ܒܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ9 And it happened in those days, Eshu {Yeshua} came from Natsrath d’Galila {Nazareth of Galilee} and was immersed {baptized} in the Yurdnan {the Jordan} by Yukhanan {John}.

ܘܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܒܟ ܐܨܛܒܝܬ11 And a voice came from the Shmaya {the Heavens}: “You are My beloved Son, in You I have been pleased.”

ܘܡܚܕܐ ܐܦܩܬܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܠܡܕܒܪܐ12 And immediately The Rukha {The Spirit} led Him out unto the madbra {the wilderness}.

ܘܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܬܢܣܐ ܡܢ ܣܛܢܐ ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ13 And He was there in the madbra {the wilderness}, forty days, while tempted from satana {lit, the adversary}. And He was there with the haywatha {the wild animals}, and The Malake {the Heavenly Messengers/Angels} were ministering unto Him.

ܘܐܡܪ ܫܠܡ ܠܗ ܙܒܢܐ ܘܡܛܬ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܬܘܒܘ ܘܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܣܒܪܬܐ15 And He said unto them, “The time has been completed, and The Malkutha d’Alaha {The Kingdom of God} has arrived! Repent and believe in The Sabartha {The Hopeful Message}!”

ܘܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܚܕܪܝ ܝܡܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܐܢܕܪܐܘܣ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܪܡܝܢ ܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܨܝܕܐ16 And while He walked around the yama d’Galila {the sea of Galilee}, He saw Shimeun {Simeon} and Andraeus {Andrew} his brother, who were casting their masidatha {nets} into the yama {the sea}; for, it happened to be they were tsayade {fishermen}.

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܘ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܐܥܒܕܟܘܢ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ17 And Eshu {Yeshua} said unto them, “Come, follow Me, and I will make you tsayade {fishermen} of the banaynasha {the sons of men}!”

ܘܡܚܕܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܡܨܝܕܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ18 And immediately they abandoned their nets, and went after Him.

ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܩܠܝܠ ܚܙܐ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪ ܙܒܕܝ ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܐܦ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܕܡܬܩܢܝܢ ܡܨܝܕܬܗܘܢ19 And when He passed over a little, He saw Yaqub {Jacob/James}, the son of Zabday {Zebedee}, and also Yukhanan {John}, his brother, in a sphintha {a boat}, who were preparing their nets.

ܘܩܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܠܙܒܕܝ ܐܒܘܗܘܢ ܥܡ ܐܓܝܪܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ20 And He called them, and immediately they left Zabday {Zebedee} their father with the agiyre {the hired men}, and went after {i.e. followed} Him.

ܘܟܕ ܥܠܘ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܡܚܕܐ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܒܫܒܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ21 And when they had entered Kaparnakhum {Capernaum}, immediately He was teaching during The Shabe {The Sabbaths} in their Synagogues.

ܘܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܠܛܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܣܦܪܝܗܘܢ22 And they were amazed by His doctrine. For, He was teaching them as being empowered, and not as Saphrehun {their Scribes/Lawyers}.

ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܡܐܬܐ ܘܩܥܐ23 And there was in their Synagogue, a gabra {a man} in whom there was a rukha tamatha {an unclean spirit}, and he cried outܘܐܡܪ ܡܐ ܠܢ ܘܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܠܡܘܒܕܘܬܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܩܕܝܫܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ24 and said, “What to us and to you {i.e. what is the matter between us and you}, Eshu Natsraya {Yeshua, the Nazarene}? Have you come to destroy us? I know you, who you are: The Qadisheh d’Alaha {The Holy One of God}!

ܘܫܕܬܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܩܥܬ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܢܦܩܬ ܡܢܗ26 And the rukha tanphtha {the impure spirit} threw him down and cried out in a loud qala {voice}, and went out of him.

ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܘܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܒܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܦܩܕ ܘܡܫܬܡܥܢ ܠܗ27 And all of them were wondering and were asking one with another and saying, “Who is this? And what is this new doctrine? For, with authority he even gives command unto the rukhe tanphtha {the impure spirits}, and they obey him!”

ܘܡܚܕܐ ܢܦܩ ܛܒܗ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ28 And immediately tebeh {His fame} went out in all the region of Galila {Galilee}.

ܘܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܕܐܢܕܪܐܘܣ ܥܡ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ29 And they went out from The Kenushtha {The Synagogue/The Assembly} and came unto the house of Shimeun {Simeon} and of Andraeus {Andrew}, with Yaqub {Jacob/James} and Yukhanan {John}.

ܘܚܡܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܐܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܥܠܝܗ30 And the kahmatheh {the mother-in-law} of Shimeun {Simeon} was laying down with a fever, and they spoke unto Him about her.

ܘܩܪܒ ܐܚܕܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܫܒܩܬܗ ܐܫܬܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗܘܢ31 And He approached, took her by the hand, and raised her. And immediately the eshatha {the fever} left her, and she was ministering unto them.

ܒܪܡܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܥܪܒܝ ܫܡܫܐ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܝܢ ܘܕܝܘܢܐ32 Then in the evening, at the setting of the shemsha {the sun}, they brought unto Him all those who were evilly affected {or evilly brought into bondage}, and the daywane {the demon possessed}.

ܘܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܝܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ33 And all the madintha {the city} was assembled at the door.

And He cast out many daywe {demons}, and didn’t allow the daywe {the demons} that they should speak, on account that He had become known to them.

ܘܒܨܦܪܐ ܩܕܡ ܩܡ ܛܒ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܘܬܡܢ ܡܨܠܐ ܗܘܐ35 And in the tsaphra {the morning}, He rose much beforehand {i.e. long before daybreak} and departed unto a secluded place, and was there praying.

{Note: In vs 35 above, the Khabouris Manuscript has a scribal error, where the scribe added “and” at the beginning of the last word. The other Peshitta MSS (Eastern text) have the correct reading. I have used the reading as found in the 1199 Houghton (Asahel Grant) MSS, which agrees with the official Peshitta text as used by The One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church of the East.}

ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܕܥܡܗ36 And Shimeun {Simeon}, and those with him, were looking for Him.

ܘܟܕ ܐܫܟܚܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܠܟ37 And when they had found Him, they said unto Him, “All the nasha {the men} are looking for you!”

ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܟܘ ܠܩܘܪܝܐ ܘܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܩܪܝܒܢ ܕܐܦ ܬܡܢ ܐܟܪܙ ܠܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܝܬ38 He said unto them, “Walk unto the villages, and unto the cities which are nearby, because I also preach there, for this I have come.

ܘܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܒܟܠܗ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܡܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ39 And He was preaching in all their Synagogues in all Galila {Galilee} and cast out the shide {the demons}.

ܘܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܓܪܒܐ ܘܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܕܟܝܘܬܝ40 And a garba {a leper} came towards Him and fell upon His feet, and from Him was begging, and said unto Him, “If you desire, you are able to cleanse me!”

ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܫܪܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܟܪܙ ܣܓܝ ܘܐܛܒܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܕܢܥܘܠ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ45 But, when he departed, he began Proclaiming greatly, and made the matter known, in such a way that Eshu {Yeshua} wasn’t able to openly enter into the city, but rather, was outside in a deserted region. And they were coming towards Him from every place.

Chapter 2ܘܥܠ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܠܝܘܡܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܒܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ1 And Eshu {Yeshua} again entered into Kaparnakhum {Capernaum}, for some days, and when they heard that He was in the baytha {the house},

ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܫܩܝܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܪܒܥܐ3 And they were coming towards Him, and brought unto Him a masharya {a paralytic}, while he was being carried between four men.

ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܠܝܛ ܗܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܫܒܩ ܚܛܗܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܡܫܪܝܐ10 But, so that you might know that it is permitted for The Son of Man to forgive khatahe {sins} in the Earth, (He said unto the masharya {the paralytic man}),

ܘܩܡ ܒܪܫܥܬܗ ܘܫܩܠ ܥܪܣܗ ܘܢܦܩ ܠܥܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܬܕܡܪܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܢܫܒܚܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܚܙܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ12 And he arose at once {lit. in the son of an hour} and lifted up arseh {his bed/pallet} and departed in the sight of all, in such a way that all of them wondered! And they were giving praise unto Alaha {God}, while saying that they had never seen such things.

ܘܢܦܩ ܬܘܒ ܠܘܬ ܝܡܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ13 And again He went towards the yama {the sea} and the whole kensha {crowd} was coming toward Him, and He was teaching them.

ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܚܙܐ ܠܠܘܝ ܒܪ ܚܠܦܝ ܕܝܬܒ ܒܝܬ ܡܟܣܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܒܬܪܗ14 And while passing by, He saw Levi bar Khalpai {Levi, the son of Alpheus}, who was sitting at the Beth Makse {the Tax Collector's House}, and He said unto him, “Come after {i.e. follow} Me!” And he arose and went after {i.e. followed} Him.

For, there were many, and they were coming after {i.e. following} Him.

He eats and drinks among the Makse {the Tax Collectors} and the Khataye {the Sinners}!”

ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܙܪܥܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܠܓܝܢ ܫܒܠܐ23 And it happened that while Eshu {Yeshua} went between the zare {the seeded rows} on The Shabtha {The Sabbath}, His Disciples were walking and plucking the sheble {the ears of grain}.

ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܐܣܬܢܩ ܘܟܦܢ ܗܘ ܘܕܥܡܗ25 Eshu {Yeshua} said unto them: “Haven’t you ever read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him?

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܬܒܪܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܫܒܬܐ27 And then He said unto them, that “The Shabtha {The Sabbath} on account of mankind, was created, and not mankind on account of The Shabtha {The Sabbath}.

ܡܪܗ ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܦ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ28 The Son of Man, therefore, is also The Lord of The Shabtha {The Sabbath}!

Chapter 3ܘܥܠ ܬܘܒ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܝܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܕܗ1 And Eshu {Yeshua} again entered into the Kenushtha {The Synagogue/The Assembly}. And there was a certain gabra {man} there who had a yabisha ideh {a paralyzed, lit. dried up hand}.

ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܐܢ ܡܐܣܐ ܠܗ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܢܩܛܪܓܘܢܝܗܝ2 And they were watching Him, so that they might accuse Him, if He healed him on The Shabtha {The Sabbath},

To make a naphsha {a soul} to live, or to destroy it? But, they were silent.

ܘܚܪ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܚܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܟܪܝܐ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܩܫܝܘܬ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܦܫܘܛ ܐܝܕܟ ܘܦܫܛ ܘܬܩܢܬ ܐܝܕܗ5 And He looked at them in khemtha {anger}, while karya {sad/grieved} for them, concerning their hard heart. And He said unto that gabra {man}, “Phshut idak {Stretch out your hand}!” And he stretched it out, and ideh {his hand} was restored!

ܘܢܦܩܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܒܪܫܥܬܗ ܥܡ ܕܒܝܬ ܗܪܘܕܣ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܢܣܒܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܘܒܕܘܢܝܗܝ6 And the Phrishe {the Pharisees} went out at once and took counsel with the house of Herudes {the house of Herod i.e. the Herodians} against Him, how they might destroy Him.

ܘܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܐܕܘܡ ܘܡܢ ܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܘܡܢ ܨܘܪ ܘܡܢ ܨܝܕܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܗܘܘ ܟܠ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܘܬܗ8 and from Urishlim {Jerusalem}, and from Adum {Edom, or, Idumaea}, and from the crossing {or, the further bank} of the Yurdnan {the Jordan River}, and from Tsur {Tyre}, and from Tsydan {Sidon}, many crowds who had heard all that He was doing, were coming unto Him.

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܩܪܒܘܢ ܠܗ ܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܒܨܘܢܝܗܝ9 And He told His Disciples that they should bring a sphintha {a boat} unto Him, because of the kenshe {the crowds/the gathering}, so that they wouldn’t press in on Him.

ܣܓܝܐܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܐܣܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܬܩܪܒܘܢ ܠܗ10 For, He was healing so many! So much so, that they were falling upon Him in order to touch Him.

ܘܣܓܝ ܟܐܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܓܠܘܢܝܗܝ12 And He was severely rebuking regarding them, that they shouldn’t reveal Him {or, make Him known}.

ܘܣܠܩ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬܗ13 And He went up unto a tura {a mountain} and called out unto those whom He desired, and they came unto Him.

ܘܓܒܐ ܬܪܥܣܪ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܥܡܗ ܘܕܢܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܟܪܙܘܢ14 And He chose The Twelve, that they should be with Him, and that they should be sent to preach,

ܐܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܬܬܦܠܓ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܠܡܩܡ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܗܝ24 For, if a Malkutha {a Kingdom} is against itself, it will be divided. That Malkutha {Kingdom} isn’t able to stand.

ܟܕ ܕܢܚ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܫܐ ܚܡܐ ܘܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܥܩܪܐ ܝܒܫ6 But, after the shemsha {the sun} arose, it withered. And on account that it had no eqara {root}, it dried up.

ܟܕ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܥܡ ܬܪܥܣܪܬܗ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܘ10 Now, when they were alone, those who were with Him, along with His Twelve, they asked Him about that Mathla {Parable}.

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܬܕܥܘܢ13 And He said unto them, “You don’t understand this Mathla {Parable}? And how will you understand all the Mathle {the Parables}?

ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܐܙܕܪܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܚܕܐ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܠܗ16 And those which were sown on shua ara {rocky ground/soil}, are those which are likened to those who have heard The Miltha {The Word}, they immediately receiving it with joy.

ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܟܘܒܐ ܡܙܕܪܥܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܬܐ18 And those which were sown among kube {thorns}, are those who hear The Miltha {The Word},

ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܛܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܛܘܫܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܓܠܐ22 For, there is nothing which is hidden, that won’t be uncovered, and not happened in secret, that won’t be revealed.

ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫ ܕܢܪܡܐ ܙܪܥܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ26 And He was saying, “Such is The Malkutha d’Alaha {The Kingdom of God}, like a nash {a man} who casts a zara {a seed} in the ara {ground/soil},

ܘܢܕܡܟ ܘܢܩܘܡ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܙܪܥܐ ܢܪܒܐ ܘܢܐܪܟ ܟܕ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ27 and he will sleep, and will rise in the lilya {the night}, and in the iymama {the daytime}, and the zara {the seed} will increase and lengthen while he isn’t aware.

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܡܢܐ ܢܕܡܝܗ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܐܝܢܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܢܡܬܠܝܗ30 And He said, “Unto what shall we liken The Malkutha d’Alaha {The Kingdom of God}? And in which Mathla {Parable} shall we compare it?

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܒܪܡܫܐ ܢܥܒܪ ܠܢ ܠܥܒܪܐ35 And He said unto them on that yawma {day}, at ramsha {evening}, “Nebar lan lebra {Let us cross over unto the other side}.”

ܘܫܒܩܘ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܘܕܒܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܒܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܗܘ ܘܣܦܝܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܥܡܗܘܢ36 And they left the crowds and lead Him away while He was in a sphintha {a boat}. And there were other sphine {boats} with them.

Note: The Khabouris has an error here, where the 1st word in the sentence should be in the plural “they left” rather than the singular “he left.” The other Peshitta manuscripts have “they left.”

ܘܗܘܬ ܥܠܥܠܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܘܓܠܠܐ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܬܬܡܠܐ37 And there was a rabtha alala {a great storm}, and rukha {wind}, and gal’le {waves} were falling into the sphintha {the boat}, and it was about to be filled!

ܘܩܡ ܘܟܐܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܡܐ ܫܠܝ ܙܓܝܪ ܐܢܬ ܘܫܠܝܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܢܘܚܐ ܪܒܐ39 And He arose and rebuked the rukha {the wind}, and said unto the yama {the sea}, “Shali zagir anth {Stop! Be you restrained.}” And the rukha {the wind} stopped, and there was a great nawkha {calm}.

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܕܚܘܠܬܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܘܠܡܢܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ40 And He said unto them, “For what are you thus so fearful? And why isn’t Haymanutha {Faith} in you?”

ܘܕܚܠܘ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܡܢܘ ܟܝ ܗܢܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܝܡܐ ܡܫܬܡܥܝܢ ܠܗ41 And they feared with a great fear, and were saying one unto another, “Who is this that the rukhe {the winds} and the yama {the sea} obeys Him?”

Chapter 5ܘܐܬܐܠܥܒܪܐܕܝܡܐܠܐܬܪܐܕܓܕܪܝܐ1 And He came unto the ebra {the farther bank/the crossing} of the yama {the sea}, unto the region of the Gadraye {the Gadarenes}.

ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܦܓܥ ܒܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ2 And when He went out from the Sphintha {the boat}, He happened upon a gabra {a man} from the beth qabure {the house/place of the tombs}, who had in him a rukha tanphtha {an unclean spirit}.

ܘܥܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܣܪܗ3 And he was dwelling in the beth qabure {the place of the tombs}.

ܘܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܐ ܠܝ ܘܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝܡܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܫܢܩܢܝ7 And he cried aloud in a high qala {voice}, and said, “What have I to do with you, {lit.

I mume {adjure} you by Alaha {God} that you not shanqany {torment} me!”

ܘܫܐܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܫܡܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܓܝܘܢ ܫܡܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܣܓܝܐܐ ܚܢܢ9 And He asked him, “Ayk’ana shmak {What is your name}?” He said unto Him, “Legion is our name, because we are many.”ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܣܓܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܕܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܐܬܪܐ10 And he was begging much from Him that He wouldn’t send him out from the region.

ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܛܘܪܐ ܒܩܪܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܚܙܝܪܐ ܕܪܥܝܐ11 Now, there was a large herd of khziyre {swine} that were raya {feeding} near a tura {a mountain}.

ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܐܕܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܕܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܙܝܪܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܥܘܠ12 And those shide {demons} were seeking from Him and saying, “Send us upon those khziyre {swine}, so that we might enter into them.”

And those rukha tanphtha {unclean spirits} went out and entered into the khziyre {the swine}. And that baqra {herd} ran unto a shaqipha {a steep place/cliff} and fell into the yama {the sea}; about two thousand, and they were drowned in the maya {the water}.

ܘܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܙܘ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܦ ܥܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܙܝܪܐ16 And those who saw it related unto them how it happened unto that one of the shidahe {the demons}, and also concerning those khziyre {swine}.

ܘܫܪܝܘ ܒܥܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܬܚܘܡܗܘܢ17 And they began seeking from Him that He should depart from their border.

ܘܟܕ ܣܠܩ ܠܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܗܘ ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ܕܥܡܗ ܢܗܘܐ18 And after He went up unto a sphintha {a boat}, that one who was of the shidahe {the demons} was seeking from Him that He might be with Him.

ܘܐܙܠ ܘܫܪܝ ܡܟܪܙ ܒܥܣܪܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ20 And he departed and began to Proclaim in the ten cities the thing that Eshu {Yeshua} did for him. And they all were amazed!

ܘܐܬܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܘܐܪܫ ܡܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܢܦܠ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ22 And one came, whose name was Yuarsh {Jairus}, from the Rabay Kenushtha {the Synagogue Masters/Teachers}. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet,

ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܣܓܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܪܬܝ ܒܝܫܐܝܬ ܥܒܝܕܐ ܬܐ ܣܝܡ ܐܝܕܟ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܬܬܚܠܡ ܘܬܚܐ23 and was greatly seeking from Him and saying unto Him, “My daughter is evilly affected, come, place your hand upon her, and she will be healed, and she will live!

ܘܐܙܠ ܥܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܕܒܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܘܚܒܨܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ24 And Eshu {Yeshua} went with him, and a great kensha {crowd} was following Him. And they were pressing Him.ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܪܕܝܬܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܣܪܐ25 Then, a certain anttha {woman} who had in her a marditha d’dama {a flow of blood}, twelve years,

ܐܝܕܐ ܕܣܓܝ ܣܒܠܬ ܡܢ ܐܣܘܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܦܩܬ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܬܥܕܪܬ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܬܐܠܨܬ26 who had suffered much from many Asawatha {Physicians/Doctors}, and had spent every thing that she had, and was not a thing helped, but rather, was even more distressed.

ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܬ ܒܚܒܨܐ ܕܟܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܒܣܬܪܗ ܘܩܪܒܬ ܠܠܒܘܫܗ27 When she heard about Eshu {Yeshua}, she came in the press of the kensha {the crowd}, from behind Him, and she touched His clothing.

ܘܥܕ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܒܪܬܟ ܡܝܬܬ ܠܡܢܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܥܡܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܠܦܢܐ35 And while He was speaking, they came from the beth {the house} of the Rab {the Chief} of The Kenushtha {The Synagogue/The Assembly}, and were saying, “Your daughter has mithath {died}, why therefore do you trouble the Malphana {the Teacher}?”

ܘܐܬܘ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܗܘ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܕܪܗܝܒܝܢ ܘܒܟܝܢ ܘܡܝܠܠܝܢ38 And they came unto the baytha {the house} of that Rab Kenushtha {Synagogue/Assembly Chief}, and saw that they were disturbed, and weeping and wailing.

ܘܥܠܘܐܡܪܠܗܘܢܡܢܐܪܗܝܒܝܢܐܢܬܘܢܘܒܟܝܢܛܠܝܬܐܠܐܡܝܬܬܐܠܐܕܡܟܐܗܝ39 And He entered and said unto them, “Why are you disturbed and weeping? The talitha {the young girl} hasn’t miythath {died}, but rather, she is asleep.”

ܘܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܦܩ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܒܪ ܠܐܒܘܗ ܕܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܥܠ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܛܠܝܬܐ40 And they were laughing at Him, but, Eshu {Yeshua} sent them all out, and He took the father of the talitha {the young girl}, and her mother, and those with Him, and entered unto where that talitha {young girl} was laid.

Note: The Peshitta, as represented by the Khabouris Manuscript and other ancient Eastern Peshitta Manuscripts, has "...Eshu sent them out..." whereas the Greek and Latin versions has "...He sent them out...". The edited UBS version of the Peshitta, follows the Greek and the Latin versions.

ܘܐܚܕ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܩܘܡܝ41 And He took the idah d’talitha {the hand of the young girl}, and said unto her, “Talitha qumi {Young girl, arise}!”

ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܣܓܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܗܕܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܥܣ43 And He commanded them much that no nash {no man} should know this, and He said that they should give her something to eat.

And many who heard Him were amazed, and were saying, “Where did He acquire these things?” And, “What is this khekmatha {wisdom} that was given unto Him, that mighty works such as these, by His hands, should happen!?”

ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܓܪܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܘܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܕܝܘܣܐ ܘܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܚܘܬܗ ܬܢܢ ܠܘܬܢ ܘܡܬܟܫܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ3 “Isn’t this the Nagara {the Carpenter}, the son of Maryam {Mary} and the brother of Yaqub {Jacob/James} and of Yusi {Joses} and of Yehuda {Judah} and of Shimeun {Simeon}?” And look! Are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in Him.”

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܨܥܝܪ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܘܒܝܬ ܐܚܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܒܒܝܬܗ4 And Eshu {Yeshua} said unto them, “There isn’t a Nabiya {a Prophet} who is despised, except if in madintheh {his city}, and in his kinsmen’s house, and in his own house.”

ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܬܡܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܚܕ ܚܝܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܕܥܠ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܣܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܐܣܝ5 And He wasn’t able to do not even one khayla {miracle} there, except that He placed His hands upon a few kriyhe {sick ones}, and healed them.

ܘܡܬܕܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܣܝܪܘܬ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܟܪܟ ܗܘܐ ܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ6 And He was amazed at the lack of Haymanuthhun {their Faith}, and was going around among the qurya {the villages}, while teaching.

ܘܩܪܐ ܠܬܪܥܣܪܬܗ ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ7 And He called unto Him The Twelve, and He began to send them out, two by two, and He gave unto them authority over the rukhe tanphtha {the unclean spirits}, so that they should cast them out.

ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܩܠܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܫܐ ܒܟܝܣܝܗܘܢ8 And He commanded them that they should take nothing for the road, except a shabta {a staff} only. No tharmala {food bag}, and no lakhma {bread}, and no nakhsha {brass/money} in their kiyse {money bag}.

ܐܠܐ ܢܣܐܢܘܢ ܛܠܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܠܒܫܘܢ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܘܬܝܢܝܢ9 But rather, that they should wear telare {military sandals}, and not wear two kuthinyan {tunics}.

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐܝܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܡܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ10 And He said unto them that “Unto that baytha {house} that you enter, you must stay there until you depart from there.

ܘܢܦܩܘ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܟܪܙܘ ܕܢܬܘܒܘܢ12 And they went out, and preached that they should repent.

ܘܫܐܕܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܡܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܫܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܫܚܐ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܘܡܐܣܝܢ ܗܘܘ13 And many shide {demons} were cast out, and they were anointing the kriyhe {the sick} with meshkha {oil}, and were healing many.

And he was saying “Yukhanan, The Immerser {John, The Baptizer} has arisen from the beth miythe {the place of the dead}; because of this, khayle {miracles} are performed by Him!”

ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ ܐܝܟ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ15 Others were saying that “He is EliYa {Elijah},” and others, that He is a Nabiya {a Prophet} like one from The Nabiye {The Prophets}.”

And he was watching over him, and he listened much unto him and did thosethings, and was gladly hearing him.

ܘܥܠܬ ܒܪܬܗ ܕܗܪܘܕܝܐ ܪܩܕܬ ܘܫܦܪܬ ܠܗ ܠܗܪܘܕܣ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܣܡܝܟܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܛܠܝܬܐ ܫܐܠܝ ܡܢܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܝܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܘܐܬܠ ܠܟܝ22 And the bartha {the daughter} of Herudiya {Herodias} entered, danced, and pleased Herudes {Herod} and those who were reclining with him. And the Malka {the King} said unto the talitha {the young girl}, “Ask me anything which you desire from me, and I will give it unto you.

ܘܝܡܐ ܠܗ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܬܫܐܠܝܢܝ ܐܬܠ ܠܟܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܦܠܓܗ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܝ23 And he swore unto her that, “The thing that you should ask me, I will give unto you, up to half of Malkuthi {my Kingdom}!”

ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܣܓܝ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܘܡܛܠ ܣܡܝܟܐ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܓܠܙܝܗ26 And it was very grievous for the Malka {the King}, yet, because of the mumatha {the oaths}, and because of the smiyke {the guests}, he wasn’t willing that he should impede her.

ܘܐܝܬܝ ܒܦܝܢܟܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܛܠܝܬܐ ܘܗܝ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܐܡܗ28 And he brought it on a phinka {a platter} and gave it unto the talitha {the young girl}, and she, that talitha {young girl}, gave it unto emah {her mother}.

ܘܫܡܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܘ ܫܩܠܘ ܫܠܕܗ ܘܣܡܘ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ29 And his Disciples heard it, and they came and took shaladeh {his corpse} and placed it in a beth qabure {a tomb house}.

For, there were many who were coming and going, and there was no athra {place} for them, not even to mekal {eat}.”’

ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܒܝܒܫܐ ܪܗܛܘ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܬܡܢ33 And many saw them while they were departing, and they recognized them. And they ran before Him unto there, and by yabsha {land} from all the madinatha {the cities}.

ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܢܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܕܢܐ ܣܓܝ35 And after much time happened, His Disciples came near to Him, and said unto Him, “This region is a khurba {a desert}, and the time is great {i.e. very late};

ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܚܙܘ ܟܡܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܚܡܫܐ ܠܚܡܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܢܘܢܝܢ38 Then He said unto them, “Go see how many lakhmiyn {loaves of bread} there is for you here.” And when they saw, they said unto Him, “Five lakhmiyn {loaves of bread), and two nuniyn {fish}.”

ܘܦܩܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܣܡܟܘܢ ܠܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܣܡܟܝܢ ܣܡܟܝܢ ܥܠ ܥܣܒܐ39 And He commanded them that they should seat every nash {man}, group by group, on the esba {the grass}.

ܘܐܣܬܡܟܘ ܣܡܟܝܢ ܣܡܟܝܢ ܕܡܐܐ ܡܐܐ ܘܕܚܡܫܝܢ ܚܡܫܝܢ40 And they sat, group by group, of hundreds, and of fifties.

They also divided those two nuniyn {fish} unto them all.

ܘܐܟܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܣܒܥܘ42 And they all ate, and were satisfied.

ܘܫܩܠܘ ܩܨܝܐ ܬܪܥܣܪ ܩܘܦܝܢܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܢܘܢܐ43 And they took away the qasaye {the fragments}; twelve baskets, after they were full, and from the nune {the fish}.

ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܟܠܘ ܠܚܡܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ44 Now, those who had eaten the lakhma, were five thousand gabriyn {men}!

ܘܟܕ ܫܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܙܠ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ46 And after He dismissed them, He went unto a tura {a mountain} to matsalayu {to pray}.

ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܡܫܐ ܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܡܨܥܬ ܝܡܐ ܘܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ47 Then, when ramsha {evening} came, the sphintha {the boat} was there in the middle of the yama {the sea}, and He was alone on the ara {the land}.

And in the fourth watch of the night, Eshu {Yeshua} came towards them, while walking on the maya {the water}! And He was desiring that He might pass by them.

ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܡܝܐ ܘܣܒܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܚܙܘܐ ܗܘ ܕܓܠܐ ܘܩܥܘ49 Then they saw that He was walking on the maya {the water}, and they thought to themselves that it was a false khezwa {an apparition}, and they cried out.

ܘܣܠܩ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܫܠܝܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܛܒ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܬܗܝܪܝܢ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ51 And He went up to them into the sphintha {the boat}, and the rukha {the wind} ceased. And they were greatly marveling, and were astonished in their souls.

ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܣܬܟܠܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܗܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ ܡܥܒܝ ܗܘܐ52 For, they understood not from that lakhma {bread}, on account that their heart was hard.

ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪܘ ܥܒܪܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܓܢܣܪ53 And when they crossed over unto ebra {the farther bank/the crossing}, they came unto the Ara d’Genesar {the Land of Gennesaret}.

ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܒܪܫܥܬܗ ܐܣܬܟܠܘܗܝ ܐܢܫܝ ܐܬܪܐ54 And when they departed from the sphintha {the boat}, bar shatheh {at once, lit. in the son of an hour} the nashe {the men} of the region recognized Him.

And all of those who were touching Him, were methaseyn {healed}!

​Chapter 7ܘܟܢܫܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܣܦܪܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ1 And the Phrishe {the Pharisees} and the Saphre {the Scribes}, who had come from Urishlim {Jerusalem}, gathered in front of Him.

ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܫܓܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܥܕܠܘ2 And they saw nashiyn {men} from His Disciples who were eating lakhma {bread}, while their hands were not washed; and they complained.

And there are many other things that they have received which they will observe, washings of kase {cups}, and of qeste {pitchers}, and of manay nakhasha {brass vessels, or utensils}, and of arsatha {beds}.

ܘܣܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܝ ܟܕ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ7 And vainly they fear Me, while they are malphiyn {teaching} yulphane {the doctrines} of the phuqdane {the commandments} of the sons of men.

ܘܩܪܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܡܥܘܢܝ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܐܣܬܟܠܘ14 And Eshu {Yeshua} called all the kensha {the crowd}, and said unto them, “Hear Me, all of you, and understand!

ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܗ ܚܪܫܐ ܚܕ ܦܐܩܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܣܝܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܐ32 And they brought unto Him a certain kharsha phiqa {a deaf mute}, and they were seeking from Him that He might place the hand on him.

ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܘܐܬܕܟܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܕܩܕܡ ܕܢܩܪܐ ܬܪܢܓܠܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܬܠܬ ܬܟܦܘܪ ܒܝ ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܒܟܐ72 And at that moment, the tharnagla {the rooster} called out the second time. And Shimeun {Simeon} remembered the saying of Eshu {Yeshua}, who had said unto him that, “Before the Tharnagla {the Rooster} calls out two times, thrice you will deny {i.e. reject faith} in Me.” And he began to nebke {weep}.

​Chapter 15ܘܡܚܕܐ ܒܨܦܪܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܥܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܥܡ ܣܦܪܐ ܘܥܡ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܣܪܘ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܠܡܘܗܝ ܠܦܝܠܛܘܣ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ1 And mekhda {immediately}, in the tsaphra {the morning}, the Rabay Kahne {the Priest’s Chiefs}, with the Qashishe {the Elders}, and with the Saphre {the Scribes}, and with the whole Kenushtha {Synagogue}, made a council; and they bound Eshu {Yeshua} and led Him away, and delivered Him unto Pilatus {Pilate}, the Higmuna {the Governor}.

ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܚܕ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܕܐܣܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܥܒܕܝ ܐܣܛܣܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܛܠܐ ܒܐܣܛܣܝܢ ܥܒܕܘ7 And there was one who was called “Bar-Aba” {Barabbas, lit. the son of the father}, who was an asir {a prisoner} with the ones who made an estasiyn {an insurrection/riot}; those who committed murder in the estasiyn {the insurrection/riot}.

ܘܩܥܘ ܥܡܐ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܗܘܢ8 And the Ama {the People} cried out, and began to ask of him, as he was accustomed to do for them.

ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܣ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܫܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ9 Then he, Pilatus {Pilate} answered and said, “Do you desire that I should release unto you the Malka d’Yehudaye {The King of the Judeans/Jews}?”

ܦܝܠܛܘܣ ܕܝܢ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܘܫܪܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܐܒܐ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܢܓܕ ܕܢܙܕܩܦ15 Now, Pilatus {Pilate} desired to do the will of the kenshe {the crowds}, and he released unto them Bar-Aba {Barabbas, lit. the son of the father}, and he delivered Eshu {Yeshua} unto them, after He was scourged, so that He might be crucified.

ܐܣܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܠܓܘ ܕܪܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܘܩܪܘ ܠܟܠܗ ܐܣܦܝܪ16 Then the stratiyute {the soldiers} brought Him within the dartha {the courtyard}, which was The Preturiyn {The Praetorium/The Judgment Hall}. And they called all the Esphiyr {the Cohort/the Regiment of Soldiers}.

ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܓܕܠܘ ܣܡܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܟܘܒܐ17 And they clothed Him in argune {purple}, and twisted a kliyla d’kube {a crown of thorns}, and placed it on Him.

ܘܫܪܝܘ ܠܡܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܗ ܫܠܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ18 And they began to salute Him with a greeting, “Shlam Malka d’Yehudaye {Hail, King of the Judeans/Jews}!”

ܘܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܪܫܗ ܒܩܢܝܐ ܘܪܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܐܦܘܗܝ ܘܒܪܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܝܗܘܢ ܘܣܓܕܝܢ ܠܗ19 And they were striking Him on risheh {His head} with a qanya {a cane}. And raqiyn {they were spitting} in His face, and were kneeling upon their knees and mockingly worshiping Him.

ܘܟܕ ܒܙܚܘ ܒܗ ܐܫܠܚܘܗܝ ܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ ܡܐܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܕܢܙܩܦܘܢܝܗܝ20 And while they scoffed at Him, they stripped off the argune {the purple}, and put His garments on, and they took Him out to crucify Him.

ܘܫܚܪܘ ܚܕ ܕܥܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܘܪܝܢܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܘܣ ܘܕܪܘܦܘܣ ܕܢܫܩܘܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ21 And they compelled one who was passing by, Shimeun Quriynaya {Simeon, the Cyrenian} who was coming from the qriytha {the field}, the father of Aleksandrus {Alexander} and of Ruphus, that he should carry Zaqiypheh {His Cross}.

ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܓܓܘܠܬܐ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܬܦܫܩܐ ܩܪܩܦܬܐ22 And they brought Him unto Gagultha {Golgotha}, a place which is interpreted, “Qarqaphtha {The Skull}.”

ܘܝܗܒܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܕܚܠܝܛ ܒܗ ܡܘܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܢܣܒ23 And they gave unto Him khamra {wine} to drink, which was mixed with mura {myrrh}, but, He didn’t take it.

ܘܟܬܝܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܗ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܗܢܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ26 And the cause of mawtheh {His death} was written in the inscription: “This is The Malka d’Yehudaye {The King of the Judeans/Jews}.”

ܘܙܩܦܘ ܥܡܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܠܣܛܝܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܚܕ ܡܢ ܣܡܠܗ27 And with Him they crucified threyn lestaye {two robbers}, one on His right, and one on His left.

ܘܫܠܡ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܥܡ ܥܘܠܐ ܐܬܚܫܒ28 And The Kathaba {The Scriptures} were fulfilled which said that, “With the aule {the wicked} He was numbered.”

ܘܐܦ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܡܢܝܕܝܢ ܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܘܢ ܫܪܐ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܒܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ29 And then, even those who were passing by were blaspheming against Him, and shaking their heads and saying, “Ah! He destroys The Haykla {The Temple}, and banee {builds} it in three yawmiyn {days}!

ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܠܟܗ ܕܝܣܪܝܠ ܢܚܘܬ ܗܫܐ ܡܢ ܙܩܝܦܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܘܢܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܙܩܝܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܚܣܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ32 Meshikha Malkeh d’IysraIyl {The Anointed One, The King of Israel}, come down now from the zaqiypha {the cross}, so that we may see and believe in you!” And then, even those who were zaqiyphiyn {crucified} with Him were hasdiyn {reviling/mocking} Him.

ܗܢܝܢ ܕܟܕ ܗܘ ܒܓܠܝܠܐ ܢܩܝܦܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܗ ܘܡܫܡܫܢ ܠܗ ܘܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܣܠܩ ܗܘܝ ܥܡܗ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ41 Those who naqiyphan {followed Him} when He was in Galila {Galilee}, and mashamshan {ministered unto Him}, and many others who had gone up with Him unto Urishlem {Jerusalem}.

ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ܕܥܪܘܒܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܩܕܡ ܫܒܬܐ42 And when it was the ramsha d’Rubtha {the evening of The Preparation}, which is before the Shabtha {the Sabbath},

ܦܝܠܛܘܣ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܗ ܕܐܢ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܡܝܬ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܘܫܐܠܗ ܕܐܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܥܕܢܐ ܡܝܬ44 But, Pilatus {Pilate} was surprised that He was already dead, and he called a Qentruna {a Centurion} and asked him if He had died ahead of time.

ܘܙܒܢ ܝܘܣܦ ܟܬܢܐ ܘܐܚܬܗ ܘܟܪܟܗ ܒܗ ܘܣܡܗ ܒܩܒܪܐ ܕܢܩܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܫܘܥܐ ܘܥܓܠ ܟܐܦܐ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܗ ܕܩܒܪܐ46 And Yuseph {Joseph} bought a Kethana {a linen}, and took Him down and wrapped Him in it, and placed Him in a qabra {a tomb} that was hewn out in the shuwa {the bedrock}. And he rolled a kepha {a rock} against the thareh d’qabra {the door of the tomb}.

ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܗܝ ܕܝܘܣܐ ܚܙܝ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܬܬܣܝܡ47 Then, Maryam Magdalaytha {Mary of Magdala}, and Maryam {Mary}, that one of Yusi {Joses}, was shown where He was placed.

ܒܫܦܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܚܕ ܒܫܒܐ ܐܬܝ ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܟܕ ܕܢܚ ܫܡܫܐ2 Then, at shaphra {dawn}, on the first of the shaba {the seven i.e. the 1st day of the week}, they came unto the beth qabura {the tomb house} when the shemsha {the sun} was risen.

ܘܐܡܪܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܢܦܫܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܓܠ ܠܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ3 And they were saying among themselves, “But, who will agel {roll} for us that kepha {rock} from the thara {the door} of the beth qabura {the tomb house}?”

ܘܚܪ ܚܙܝ ܕܡܥܓܠܐ ܗܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܛܒ4 And they looked and they saw that the kepha {the rock} was rolled away, for, it was very raba {large/great}.

ܘܥܠܝܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܚܙܝ ܥܠܝܡܐ ܕܝܬܒ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܘܥܛܝܦ ܐܣܛܠܐ ܚܘܪܬܐ ܘܬܡܗ5 And they entered the beth qabura {the tomb house}, and they saw a layma {a young man} who was sitting on the right, and clothed with an estla heurtha {a white stole}, and they were amazed!

ܒܫܦܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܚܕ ܒܫܒܐ ܩܡ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܡܓܕܠܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܫܒܥܐ ܫܐܕܝܢ ܐܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ9 Now, at shaphra {dawn}, on the first shaba {seven, i.e. the 1st day of the week}, He arose, and appeared first unto Maryam Magdalaytha {Mary of Magdala}, that one from whom He had cast out shaba shidiyn {seven demons}.

ܘܗܝ ܐܙܠܬ ܣܒܪܬ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܒܝܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܒܟܝܢ10 And she went and told it unto those who had been with Him, who were biliyn {mourning} and bakiyn {weeping}.

ܘܗܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܐܡܪܢ ܕܚܝ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܐܢܝܢ11 And they, when they heard what they were saying, that He khay {lived}, and had appeared unto them, they didn’t believe them.

ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܐܙܠܝܢ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ12 After these things, He appeared unto two from them, in another damutha {likeness}, while they were walking and going unto a qariytha {a village}.

ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܫܪܟܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ13 And they went and told the rest. They also didn’t believe them.

ܐܚܪܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܚܕܥܣܪ ܟܕ ܣܡܝܟܝܢ ܘܚܣܕ ܠܙܥܘܪܘܬ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܩܫܝܘܬ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܕܩܡ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ14 Then afterward, He appeared unto The Eleven while they were reclining, and He upbraided the lack of Haymanuthhun {their Faith}, and for the qashyuth {the hardness} of lebkhun {their heart}, because they didn’t believe those who had seen Him, that He had risen.

ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܐܟܪܙܘ ܣܒܪܬܝ ܒܟܠܗ ܒܪܝܬܐ15 And He said unto them, “Go unto all the world and Proclaim Sabarthi {My Hopeful Message} to every creature.

ܘܚܘܘܬܐ ܢܫܩܠܘܢ ܘܐܢ ܣܡܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܢܫܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܗܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܢܣܝܡܘܢ ܥܠ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܢܬܚܠܡܘܢ18 and they will take up khuwatha {snakes}, and if they should drink the sama d’mawtha {the poison of death}, it will not harm them. And they will place their hands on the kriyhe {the sick ones}, and they will be healed.”

ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܦܩܘ ܘܐܟܪܙܘ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܘܡܪܢ ܡܥܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܫܪ ܡܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܐܬܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ20 They then went out and Proclaimed in every duka {place}. And Maran {Our Lord} was helping them, and establishing their words by the athutha {the miraculous signs} that they were doing.
